"You are precious cargo in that pink mobile"

This one makes me smile. Can you believe it?! Me!!? Cargo!? Precious??!Oh you! :::Blush:::

This one came about when I said that I drive on average about 80 mph on the freeway. The gentleman said the quote and urged me to slow down when I drive. I usually don't look at my little speedometer, formerly known as "the little thingy" that's right next to the other thingy that tells me how much gas I have left". I said that I have driven at 90mph a few times, not because I do it intentionally of course, I just go with the flow of traffic and sometimes when I look, it would say 92 or something like that. And then I would slow down naturally.

Let me tell you funny story about speeding. I was driving on the highway around 11:30 at night and traffic was not heavy but there were enough cars around to make one look twice before merging. But anyway, I was driving on the far left lane, initially I did not know how I fast I was going...I was just "going with the traffic". Fergie's "Glamorous" was playing on the radio - some things you just never forget =D

But anyway, I noticed a bike had just pulled up behind me and was driving very closely to me. At the time I remember thinking " Wow this dude sure is driving awfully close" so I sped up -it's time like those that I wished my license frame says "If you're going to ride my tail, you might as well pull my hair too" but that's besides the point ;-).But the guy sped up as well, not only that, the ass had the audacity to turn on his high beams, blinding me of course. So I got mad and merged onto the lane to my right and sped away quickly. The dude in the bike did the same! I was really freaking out by that point, and weird thoughts starting running through my mind such as what is this guy was a serial killer, or part of a bike gang gone (I remember there was a movie that came out a few years ago about a group of bikers who drove across country killing people)...but anyway I was freaked out. So I sped up even more by this time I was at 92, I looked. When I looked up in my rear view mirror I noticed that the biker was no longer behind me. Whew~

But then I noticed at the corner of right eye...blue lights were flashing. So I looked over and whadda you know! The guy wasn't a serial killer he turned out to be he's much worse...a cop! The funny thing was, I wasn't nervous at all...because I knew that I was driving way too fast and if he gave me a ticket I wasn't going to fight it. I looked over and turned on my right turn signal so that I can merge and pull over. I had my windows up, but as I looked over I could see the cop mouthing "SLOW DOWN" and slow down I did. Even funnier still, the cop just sped away. Even though it was dark I could see the other cars looking at me ...green with....envy..or maybe hatred? Who knows.

Why did the cop let me off when he and I both knew that I was driving way over 80 to begin with? I don't know. Perhaps, the cop had a nice time with his wife/girlfriend/mistress before his shift started (maybe with all three) or maybe he was driving TO the rendezvous and was running late himself; or maybe it was because of my license plate...I mean c'mon someone who drives around with a license plate like mine can't be all THAT bad right??! Right! Some have told me that the cop had let me off because I was cute, but I'm ruling that one out because it was late at night and so therefore you can't really see anything. Also, I think that if I were a guy cop, I'd probably give the pretty girls more tickets why? Because I'm a jerk. lol But in all seriousness, I believe that "pretty" girls get off the hook more often than is neccessary. So think of all the tickets that these girls have gotten out of! Think of all the cash that would be generated back into the state if male cops would just start ticketing pretty girls. Why do I say male cops? Well duh! It's pretty obvious that if a female cop were to come face to face with a girl regardless of what the girl looks like, the female cop would just give her a ticket without a second thought -because the female cop is a woman. And most women by nature are spiteful and jealous who walks around with a chip on their shoulders. So I'm sure it'll give them great pleasure knowing that they have the power to ruin another girl's day especially if the girl is good looking.

But anyway, as I was saying, pretty girls probably go out more than the nonattractive ones, and when they go out they're probably rushing to get there. So most likely, they'll be very easy to target. Also to note, if she's very pretty (Depending on how old she is) she'll probaby be drivng an expensive car - that she or some "idiot" (as my brother and Tom Leykis would call the guy) bought- which means she'll have the money to pay for the ticket somehow. Just for the record, my brother does count himself amongst the "idiots" lol (Oh! Men!).

I don't think I'm too terribly spiteful or crazy jealous, so I don't think I'll be giving out tickets just because I want to ruin someone's day. I'm just approaching it from an economic point of view and if the myth is true that cops have a certain quota to meet at the end of every month or so, then I'd be all over that to try to get my gold star! Six sigma should be implemented indeed!

Wow, how did I get from precious cargo to talking about generating cash for the state through ticketing pretty girls...I don't know. That's why this blog is called ramblings from moi. And it's my site, and I will talk about what I please because it amuses me. So there!

Oh and for another record, my tickets have all been parking tickets. =) :::Knocks on wood::::
